VISIT the Centers for Disease Control website’s weekly update on deaths from Covid-19, flu and pneumonia and you will find a glaring statistical anomaly.
For the week ending on May 21, the total for all deaths from these three diseases is reported as 136,869. The breakdown is listed as the following: 88,578 deaths from pneumonia, 6,247 from flu and 71,339.
Do the math. That brings us to a total of 166,164 — close to 30,000 more than the reported total on the same page. (Thanks to Chuck Baldwin for this find.)
How could such an obvious inconsistency be overlooked by the statisticians at the federal agency?
Easily. This would not be the first time it has played with numbers.

The updates “deliberately” underestimated the percentage of drug addicts among the afflicted. Even worse, the agency declared that a constellation of symptoms was caused by a contagious agent based on what CDC officer Bruce Evatt said was “almost no evidence.”
Published 13 years ago, Virus Mania, written originally in German and translated into English by Megan Chapellas and Danielle Eagan, is highly relevant to the Covid Scandal and I am surprised — take that back, I am not surprised — that more journalists are not referring to it now. This readable, lucidly written examination of what the authors maintain is a serious tendency to overestimate the power of viruses, a tendency driven by profit motives, will help you view our latest mania in the context of modern history. The authors focus on six epidemics: AIDS, Avian Flu, SARS, Cervical Cancer (HPV), Mad Cow Disease, Hepatitis C and polio. The popular narrative of all of these is highly questionable. They also mention others along the way, including the famous Spanish Flu of 1918, reported to have killed 550,000 in the U.S. The Spanish Flu has never been proven to have been caused by a virus: Read More »
